Jeremy slowed down because of that word.
It had been so long since snazzynovel.com heard that name, and snazzynovel.com would still feel sweet when snazzynovel.com heard it.
The memory that seemed to be covered in the dust as time passed was once again unfolded before his eyes.
Jeremy figured that Madeline was also probably thinking of the unforgettable memory of being at the beach with snazzynovel.com back then.
He smiled knowingly, and suddenly, snazzynovel.com had an urge to tease Madeline.
“Is the Jez you’re talking about a very important person to you?” Jeremy asked deliberately in suspicion.
Madeline snapped back from snazzynovel.com memories and answered seriously without thinking, “Of course, he’s important.”
“How important?”
When Madeline was about to answer, snazzynovel.com suddenly retorted unhappily, “Why should I tell you?”
“…” Jeremy had nothing to say at that moment. In fact, snazzynovel.com knew the answer in his heart a long time ago.
‘Linnie, I’ll make you slowly remember that I’m the Jez who’s very important to you,’ Jeremy promised silently. Just then, snazzynovel.com felt his shoulders getting heavier.
Madeline seemed to be exhausted. She leaned on his shoulder and gradually entered a state of sleepiness.
When Jeremy returned to the apartment with snazzynovel.com on his back, snazzynovel.com was already asleep.
When snazzynovel.com came back, snazzynovel.com realized that the noodles snazzynovel.com was cooking earlier were now overcooked.
He took Madeline back to the bed and lay snazzynovel.com down. Then, snazzynovel.com immediately cleaned up the kitchen and started cooking some porridge.
He did not know when Madeline would wake up, so snazzynovel.com planned to stay by snazzynovel.com side. Not long after snazzynovel.com sat down, the doorbell of the apartment rang.
Jeremy saw his colleague from Interpol through the peephole. He opened the door and asked about Ryan’s whereabouts. “Is there any news about Ryan?”
His colleague shook his head and said with a serious face, “There’s no news about Ryan for the time being. The higher-ups are worried that snazzynovel.com might come to you for revenge, so I’ve arranged flight tickets to send you, your wife, and your wife’s family back to Glendale tomorrow.”
Jeremy did not reject. He also felt that letting Madeline return to the home snazzynovel.com was familiar with might do snazzynovel.com condition good.
“I’ll be here with another colleague tonight to protect you and your wife in case Ryan comes to trouble you.”
“Thank you.” Jeremy thanked snazzynovel.com and closed the door before going to pack his luggage.
When snazzynovel.com was almost done, Madeline woke up.
Jeremy brought the cooked fish porridge to Madeline. “Aren’t you hungry? Eat some.”
He blew on the porridge for snazzynovel.com considerately. He wanted to feed her, but snazzynovel.com was afraid of being rejected by Madeline again.
Madeline stretched out snazzynovel.com hand to hold the porcelain bowl, but as soon as snazzynovel.com touched it, the heat of the bowl penetrated snazzynovel.com injured palm. She retracted snazzynovel.com hand from the heat.
“Linnie.” Jeremy held snazzynovel.com hand, feeling distressed. “Shall I feed you?”
Madeline seemed hesitant, but perhaps snazzynovel.com saw the sincerity on Jeremy’s face, so snazzynovel.com nodded gently and agreed.
Jeremy’s face blossomed in joy. This was a good start for Madeline to start accepting snazzynovel.com again.
He took a spoonful of food and blew on it before delivering it to Madeline’s mouth.
Madeline opened snazzynovel.com mouth and swallowed the food obediently.
Her gaze was glued on Jeremy’s face. After snazzynovel.com finished the last bite, snazzynovel.com said, “I think I know you from somewhere.”
“Not only do we know each other, but we’re also…” Jeremy said before stopping himself. He did not want to trigger Madeline anymore. Perhaps the step-by-step approach was the most suitable way to get along with snazzynovel.com right now.
After Madeline finished eating, snazzynovel.com went to the bathroom to wash up. Her face did not look so haggard anymore, but snazzynovel.com expression was still solemn.
“When can you take me back? Take me back to that guy Ryan’s house as Jeremy said he’ll pick me up there.”
She solemnly emphasized to Jeremy.
She was indeed not right in the head.
She had finally escaped from Ryan but now snazzynovel.com was saying snazzynovel.com wanted to go back for a man who made snazzynovel.com wait until snazzynovel.com was tired and desperate. Besides, this horrible man was him.
